“Tailoring clothes is a game-changer for petite individuals, offering a personalized fit that enhances both comfort and style,” Baudino says. “It’s particularly beneficial because you’re getting a personalized fit so nothing will be too long or loose and need constant adjustments.” She points out that “investing in tailoring can extend the life of your favorite pieces, making them work better for you and offering better value over time.”

The Los Angeles-based Baudino recommends Nordstrom, Free People and Anthropologie, as well as smaller brands like The Frankie Shop and Doen, as among her favorite places to shop. And of course, she’s an Amazon stan, posting looks for less on her social channels and shoppable via @shop.with.caroline.
